La Somalie, la nouvelle guerre des Etats-Unis
L'International Herald Tribune écrit : "Pas découragée par les horreurs et les revers en Irak, en Afghanistan et au Liban, l'administration Bush a ouvert un nouveau front dans le monde musulman." Les quinze mille soldats éthiopiens, engagés "dans une guerre illégale d'agression" contre le pouvoir islamiste dans le sud de la Somalie, bénéficient "du plein soutien et de l'entraînement de l'armée américaine", souligne le quotidien américain. Le site français Geopolitique.com évoque "un coup de poker à haut risque" : "Aucun pays voisin, et surtout pas l'Ethiopie, un pays chrétien, ennemi traditionnel de la Somalie musulmane, ne doit recevoir un feu vert pour y intervenir." Les ambitions américaines en Afrique vont plus loin. Le Boston Globe révélait la semaine dernière que Washington va créer une force d'action rapide antiterroriste et humanitaire indépendante, baptisée "Africom".

Editorial: War in Somalia
Another front in the fight against terrorism has exploded
(...) Earlier this month it pushed for a U.N. Security Council resolution that called for an end to foreign intervention, the deployment of a peacekeeping force and negotiations between the rival Somali governments. President Bush spoke yesterday with the president of Uganda, which had offered peacekeepers. Yet even while reiterating its call for negotiations, the administration also appears to be supporting the Ethiopian offensive: The State Department said that Ethiopia had a right to defend itself against the Islamists and that its troops were there at the invitation of a legitimate authority, the transitional government.
Maybe the Ethiopian forces will crush the Islamists and their al-Qaeda allies and thereby rescue the United States from its predicament. More likely, the administration will have to prepare for much more active U.S. engagement in what is emerging as a hot new front in the war on terrorism.
